What’s Streaming

BLOODLINEon Netflix. Kyle Chandler and Ben Mendelsohn fester as brothers — one a detective, the other a ne’er-do-well — in an affectionately sprawling clan of inn owners in the Florida Keys. But doesn’t everyone know that appearances are deceiving? With their dark secrets and buried wounds, the Rayburn family is no different. This Southern film noir is finely cast with Sam Shepard, Sissy Spacek, Norbert Leo Butz and Linda Cardellini. A third and final season is expected to arrive in May.

SWIMMING POOL (2003) on Amazon and iTunes. An icy English mystery writer (Charlotte Rampling) in a midcareer rut is plunged into hot water under the Mediterranean sun. Her editor’s wanton teenage daughter (Ludivine Sagnier) — and then a dead body — show up at a vacation home in France. “Swimming Pool,” François Ozon’s first English-language film, “is simultaneously a thoroughly mannered, mischievously artificial confection and an acute piece of psychological realism,” A. O. Scott wrote in The New York Times.

STEP INTO LIQUID (2003) on Amazon, iTunes and Vudu. In the mid-1960s, Bruce Brown tracked two California dudes searching for the perfect wave and created the seminal surf movie “The Endless Summer” (on Fandor). In this documentary, Dana Brown follows in his father’s wake, mixing images of angry seascapes and beautiful youths poised atop big waves to make what Elvis Mitchell, writing in The Times, called “such a gorgeous recording of the spume-slathered sport that cinemas screening the picture would do well to sell boards at the concession stands.”

L’AVVENTURA (1961) on Amazon, iTunes and Vudu. After a young woman (Lea Massari) disappears during a yachting trip off the coast of Italy, her disaffected lover (Gabriele Ferzetti) and best friend (Monica Vitti) set off in search of her. But soon it’s clear they’re attracted to each other. Michelangelo Antonioni’s mystery is a classic now. But at the time, Bosley Crowther of The Times said that watching this “weird adventure” is “like trying to follow a showing of a picture at which several reels have got lost.”
